Reply To: Atlas Shrugged and the Torah

Right. So you specifically failed to bring the remotest amount of support for the only point that I was contesting, and utterly failed to even note that there was a leap of logic.

And then you just say that I don’t like your response.

So again, the only point I am making is that I don’t think it is a legitimate use of government for voters to force other people to give money to them. And I am unaware of any such notion in the Torah. Rather, I contend it is stealing–the same as any other.

As regards the chareidim, I certainly don’t condone their use of political power in that manner. And at the same time have trouble understanding how you do not accept it.
